The clutch fan does spin by hand with minimal resistance, and I know it turns well rven at idle so I doubt the fan is the issue, but Im sure some wd40 and cleaning wouldnt hurt!
With a clutch fan, there's turning and then there's really turning. If the clutch isn't fully engaging when it needs to you won't get the maximum cooling. When it kicks in there's should be no doubt. It will sound like a small jet is taking off under the hood. If you don't hear that distinct change when it gets hot I'd look into it more. You should also hear it slowly fade away when it cools enough.
